A comeback from Travis Lee could help a suddenly young Phillies lineup immensely.

I consider Jimmy Rollins to be one of the better prospects around. All he needs is for his team and his team's fans
to show a little patience with him while he's still young and improving, and the Phillies should have a very nice player. His abilities look an awful like those of
Edgar Renteria.

The Phillies have cornered the market on Brian Hunters.

I'm constantly working on my system trying to improve some weaknesses and add some strengths (see next comment). This offseason's goal
was to fix one glaring weakness in the system and I've certainly improved that area a lot now (though it still needs work). However there were more that I tried to
work in and just couldn't get it done in time so it will have to wait for next year (which isn't to say the system doesn't "work." The system I used is the best one
available to me. The information I had that was not included, while apparently accurate as far as I can tell, was very difficult to work into the system in a way that would not decrease it's accuracy).
I'm mentioning this here because Reggie Taylor looks like the prototype player who would be helped by this info being included in the projections. Left handed hitters, with speed who strike out a fair amount and have a touch of power
concentrate a bunch of "pluses" that I wasn't able to work in. The reason is that it was unclear how these "pluses" worked, when in particular they were especially relevant
and to what extent it helped what statistics. But there does appear to be advantages there. This is useful information because it puts a bit more weight on the "tools"
that scouts use to rate players (which while they call them five, really are only three: size, speed and agility). That said, in Taylor you have a player whose best OPS ever was a .753 he posted last year with a .310 OBP. Taylor may be a good bit better
than you'd normally expect from a minor leaguer with his stats, but he's gonna have to be a lot better than currently projected to be any good.

While we're on the subject of difficult projections, the projection for Johnny Estrada has been
omitted. In Estrada's projection, the two biggest weaknesses still remaining (dealing with one year of data and unusual strikeout totals) have been
abnormally concentrated leading to a projection that I have no confidence in providing to you as accurate. For a player unlikely to see much big league time this year, I felt it was best
leaving him alone. These weaknesses are usually harmless, and at times work as strengths of the system, but in this case it lead to a projection I wasn't comfortable with...

In better news, I'm extremely comfortable with the projection for Eric Valent, and think that if Lee falters, you could see him seize the leftfield job. A good minor leaguer to watch closely this year.
